Makes no difference the specific crime being discussed - in all likelihood the reason crime seems more common to you is because there's a social network where people can quickly and easily broadcast a crime that was committed to a whole bunch of people. You couldn't do that 25 years ago or even 10 years ago.The main things posted are cars being broken into. In some neighborhoods people don’t even lock their cars because they’d rather have someone get in and find nothing than break out the window and find nothing. These aren’t bad neighborhoods either, but the thieves know where to go.
It's just like people to talk about how people are meaner now and point to stuff on Twitter as evidence. Are people really meaner, or is there just an easy way to broadcast it now?
